The Warrant is Now Available on DVD and Digital HD from Amazon and at Walmart Stores from Mill Creek Entertainment (Review)

Disclosure: I was sent a screener from the vendor in exchange for an honest review. All views shared are mine and mine alone.





Brothers in war. Enemies in peace.



Growing up I used to watched Westerns with my dad, after he got home from a long day at work or police detail.  It was a way for him to unwind after a crazy day, and opportunity for me to spend time with him, as my two brothers were not fans of this genre of film.   I found myself really getting into these types of movies, and continue to watch them to this day.  So, when I was recently sent The Warrant, which released today on Day and Digital from Mill Creek Entertainment, I couldn't wait to watch it.  This Western film take place right after the Civil War, and includes a great cast of actors/actresses, that really do an amazing job with this film, and make it a treat to watch. 

Here is more about the film, including the official trailer...

Synopsis:

Sheriff John Breaker and his son, Cal, reunite after the Civil War to track down a fellow veteran, now a notorious gang leader. 



Their mission turns dangerous when they find themselves caught between their former friend’s outlaw gang and the vigilantes who are taking the law into their own hands. 




Starring Neal McDonough (Yellowstone, Captain America), Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers, Tarzan), Steven R. McQueen (The Vampire Diaries, Chicago Fire), and Annabeth Gish (X-Files, The Haunting of Hill House).





---

I am a huge fan of Annabeth Gish, as I loved her in Mystic Pizza way back when, and have followed her career in film and television since then.  She has always delivered stellar performances, and did a great job in this movie.  As I watched the trailer shared above, I could see that this was like the type of Westerns I used to watch back in the day.  I don't know about you, but if you are a fan of Westerns, ones from the late 90's and onward really try to hard to fall under the "Westerns" genre, and usually fall flat with the plot or character stories. But, this was not the case with The Warrant.  As I sat to watch this movie, I was drawn in from the opening scenes, and couldn't keep my eyes from the television screen.  I wanted to see what would happen next, and found myself hoping the sheriff and his son would track down the outlaw and bring him to justice, before more people were hurt.  

Don't worry, I will not ruin the ending of the movie. But, I will say is that this is a really great movie, and one that both my husband and I enjoyed.  While I wouldn't consider this a family-friendly movie, older tweens/teens will enjoy the gun fighting scenes and the whole Western movie feel.  You will see that this is a relatively low-budget movie, but that doesn't bring down the quality of the film.  With the amazing group of actors they pulled together for the film and the great story line of good vs. evil and heroism, fans of cowboy westerns will really enjoy this movie.  There are plot twists and surprises to the story line that you don't see coming, which makes this a movie you will want to turn away, as you may miss something.  The movie is fast paced and full of action, so there is never a lull making it lag or feel boring.  I could go on and on about just home much I enjoyed The Warrant.  But, instead, why don't you pick up a copy of this movie, which released to DVD and Digital HD, by picking up a copy to watch.  I know you will love it just as much as I did.  This is definitely one of those Westerns you will want to watch time and time again, and not get bored with.  You can learn more about The Warrant by visiting the official movie website here: https://thewarrantmovie.com/ .

The Mindy Project: The Complete Series - Now Available to Own on Blu-ray and DVD from Mill Creek Entertainment (Review)

Disclosure: I was sent a screener from the vendor in exchange for an honest review. All views shared are mine and mine alone.






Mill Creek Entertainment kicked off the New Year with the Complete Series debut of “THE MINDY PROJECT” which is now available in its entirety as of January 14, 2020, on Blu-ray and DVD -- Yes, you get all 117 episodes, across the show’s 6-season run! :-)



More about The Mindy Project:
"Dr. Mindy Lahiri (Mindy Kaling) is a talented obstetrician navigating the tricky waters of her chaotic personal life as she pursues her dreams of becoming the perfect woman, finding happiness and getting her perfect romantic comedy ending.


Watch the first 5 minutes of the pilot episode now :-)

Mindy shares a practice with three doctors, none of whom makes life any easier for her.  There’s Dr. Danny Castellano (Chris Messina) whose on-again-off-again romance with Mindy keeps the office staff on their toes, Dr. Jeremy Reed (Ed Weeks), the office’s managing partner and resident punching bag, and Dr. Peter Prentice (Adam Palley), a high-fiving former frat boy, who knows nothing about the opposite sex, but insists on doling out relationship advice to Mindy.  Rounding out the ensemble is ex-con-turned-nurse Morgan Tookers (Ike Barinholtz), the gossipy Tamra (Xosha Roquemore) and the grumpy Beverly (Beth Grant)."

---

I first started watching this show when it aired on FOX, as I was a fan of Mindy Kaling's when she played Kelly Kapoor on the popular The Office series.  She was a riot on that show, and I knew anything she was going to do next was also going to be funny and worth watching.  And, I was right.  The Mindy Project received numerous awards and nominations over its 6 season run including being the recipient of numerous awards (Critics’ Choice, Gracie, Satellite) and nominations (People’s Choice, Writer’s Guild, Teen Choice, NAACP Image) for Best Comedy Series!  After the first 3 season on FOX, The Mindy Project was picked up by Hulu and ran for Seasons 4-6.  It was one of the first major network series to be continued on a digital platform. And, upon its arrival to Hulu, it gained more followers, and continued to be a hit until its final episode aired.

I have been waiting for the complete series to arrive on Blu-ray and DVD, so that I could pick up and start watching it again from the very beginning.  My husband started watching the series with me when it was picked up on Hulu, so he missed the first 3 seasons. I  told him that once the complete series came out, we would get and binge watch all over again, right from the start, and he could see what he missed.  Thanks to the folks at Mill Creek Entertainment, we now get to do just that. After the girls go to bed each night, we have been watching a few episodes.  While we have not watched all 117 episodes yet, we are almost through the third season, and loving all the laugh out loud episodes.  And once we are done watching all the episodes, we will be watching the deleted scenes and gag reel, which are an added bonus to the recent Blu-ray and DVD complete series releases.

While most people think of chocolates and flowers as proper gift ideas for Valentine's Day, why not think outside the box, and gift that special someone with the new The Mindy Project: The Complete Series on Blu-ray or DVD?  This is one of those gifts that lasts long after the flowers die, and the chocolate is eaten, and can be enjoyed during an at home date night, or when you want to snuggle up with that special someone after a long day and get in a few laughs, before you drift off to bed.  My husband and I love watching The Mindy Project, and it gives us something to look forward to each night, after a long day.

Pre-Order The King of Queens: The Complete Series Now! -- All 207 Episodes Arrive on 22 Discs in this DVD Collection on November 26th (Review)

Disclosure: I was sent a screener from the vendor in exchange for an honest review. All views shared are mine and mine alone.





The King of Queens - The Complete Series - DVD 

I have to say out of all the television series that had a long run, this one is up there was one of my favorites.  The King of Queens delivered laughs for nine straight seasons.  And, when the final episode aired, I was sad to see it end, as I had grown accustomed to tuning in each week to watch this laugh out loud television series. No matter the type of day I was having, I knew that when I sat down to watch a new episode that I would be in for a treat, and would be laughing non-stop.  Kevin James made a name for himself with this series, before he went on to be Paul Bart in Mall Cop, riding around on his Segway to protect the mall and then save those who were held hostage.

I am not going to bore you with a review of this television as you have probably watched it when it first aired or caught reruns of the series.  Instead, I just wanted to make you aware that you can pre-order the DVD collection, as it arrives in stores on November 26th for under $40.  You will get all 207 full length episodes from all 9 seasons -- that is 75 hrs. and 55 minutes over 22 DVD discs of this memorable television series, that fans will want to want time and again.

I was so happy when I found a review copy of this DVD collection in the mail, as my husband had never seen the show, and I told him he was in for a treat as I now had all 9 seasons for him to watch with me.  We have only made it through the first 3 seasons, and my husband is loving it.  He has only known Kevin Hart for his comedy routines and movies he has starred in, but it was nice to show him where this funny man got his start, and the television series that had families tuning in each week to laugh and have a good time together, watching a hilarious show that never disappointed.

If you loved The King of Queens or know someone who does, this new DVD collection would make for a great gift idea.

About this new DVD collection release:

"Meet A Household Legend...In His Own Mind!


The King of Queens consistently delivered laughs for nine seasons, making it one of the most popular and longest-running comedies in television history! Kevin James stars as Doug Heffernan, a lovable regular guy with an adoring wife, Carrie (Leah Remini), and a frustrating father-in-law (Jerry Stiller) under his roof. Packed with a crazy cast of characters, hilarious situations and plenty of great guest stars, this is one show that brings the goods!"

King has turned out to be a near-perfect synthesis of Seinfeld and Raymond, recombining many of the best elements of each show into something wholly, delightfully new.” – Bruce Fretts, Entertainment Weekly
  • THE COMPLETE SERIES – All 207 episodes available for the first time UNCUT, with original music and in widescreen!
  • Kevin James was nominated for an Emmy® for his role as Doug Heffernan
  • Featured guest appearances by Lou Ferrigno, Anne Meara, Ricki Lake, Rachel Dratch, Bryan Cranston, and Ray Romano
  • The series enjoyed a successful run on CBS, consistently ranking in Nielsen’s Top 40 across all 9 seasons.

Mill Creek Entertainment Will Get You In the Holiday Spirit With These Five New Christmas Releases (Review)

Disclosure: I was sent screeners from the vendor in exchange for an honest review.  All views shared are mine and mine alone.


Mill Creek Entertainment

One of my favorite things about Christmas time is all the holiday movies that air on television, and that become available to own on DVD and Blu-Ray.  This year, I am excited to add five new Christmas-themed movies to my family's growing holiday movie collection to watch this year, and for years to come, thanks to the folks at Mill Creek Entertainment.

What I love about Mill Creek Entertainment next to their affordable movie releases to DVD, Blu-ray and to their streaming service, MovieSpree, is that they always have a wonderful selection of movies the whole family will enjoy.  And, their new November/December releases which include the following holiday movies are sure to delight families as they enjoy quality time together watching a good holiday movie, girlfriends who come together to watch a good romance Christmas story (you can never see too many), or for moms looking to unwind after a long day, and want to watch a holiday movie while they wrap gifts or simply relax with a glass of wine, with their feet up.

Here are five new Christmas-themed releases from Mill Creek Entertainment that would make a great addition to your family's movie collection.  If you do a movie advent countdown, some of these movies would be great surprise movies for your kids to unwrap and enjoy in the evenings, as you count down to Christmas.

Christmas on the Bayou- https://youtu.be/mdElUQHViCs

My Thoughts:

I love when they come out with DVDs like these that offer a handful of holiday movies all in one collection.  Fans of Lifetime channel will notice some familiar movies, as these five movies have all aired previously on Lifetime.  I remember two of the movies, and couldn't wait to see these again, along with the three others.

My husband is not big into watching romantic Christmas movies as he knows how they always end, and saw the stories are all the same, just didn't people playing them.  So, I never sit and watch these movies around him, as I don't want him ruining the movie experience. For the past few nights I have watched these great holiday movies after everyone was in bed sleeping. Yes, each of the story lines are predictable, but there is something about holiday movies like these that leave you smiling at the end, with each and every happily ever after.

If you are looking for some new holiday romance movies to watch as you count down to Christmas, you will definitely want to check out this DVD collection of 5 As Seen on Lifetime movies, available now for only $19.98!

My Thoughts:

I was so excited to see this movie arrive on DVD, as both of my watched it over and over again last year when it was streaming on Netflix.  You may recall the other day me sharing a new picture book based on this Netflix movie, and I mentioned I would be sharing a DVD review -- here you go! :-)  When my girls saw this movie arrive at our door the other day, they had me read the Angela's Christmas book to them first, and then we settled in on the couch to watch this heartwarming animated movie about a little girl who steals the baby Jesus from the Nativity scene at her church, as she felt bad that he had no clothes. 

This is one of those holiday movies that will make you tear up, and leave you smiling when the movie ends.  It is truly a wonderful movie that the whole family will enjoy watching this year and for many more Christmas's to come.

About this movie:

"A not-so-ordinary elf named Elfette (Brielle Carter) finds her vacation in Florida cut short when there’s suddenly a Christmas emergency-- Santa Claus (Quinton Aaron) has been kidnapped by the New York Mafia’s crime boss, Little Georgie (George Vricos)!  Elfette to the rescue!  Upon arriving in New York, Elfette finds herself lost in a human world she doesn’t understand and with a lunatic elf hunter named Ernest Killingsworth III (Zachary Vasquez) in hot pursuit. To save the day and prove herself as an extra special elf, she must team up with her best friend Sparkle (Aléa Figueroa) to save Christmas, Santa, and the elves before Christmas is ruined for the entire world!"
 
Notable Cast/Crew:
  • Quinton Aaron known for Michael Oher, aka Big Mike, alongside Oscar winner Sandra Bullock, in the Academy Award winning hit movie, The Blind Side (2009),
  • Alea Figueroa known for Ballers (2015), Killer Island (2018) and Gotta Kill 'Em All.
  • Kenneth McGregor known for X-Men (2000), The Hurricane (1999) and The Piano (1993)
  • Brielle Carter known for Love Hurts (2018) and Running with Violet (2017).

My Thoughts:

If you love the elf movie featuring Will Farrell, you will want to check out this movie which is about a girl elf who comes to NYC to help save Santa.  She is an elf in a human world, and will have to fit in and work with her best friend Sparkle the elf to save Santa and Christmas. My girl sat and watched this movie with me last weekend and loved it.  Yes, they said it was silly, but it was a good holiday movie, and they loved seeing the elf played by a girl.

About this movie:

"Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan stars as an evil millionaire who gets amnesia during the holiday season and becomes convinced that he is Santa Claus. This less-than-conventional Santa is using his new identity to fight crime and bring good cheer to all good boys and girls. You better watch out!"
 
Trailer Link:   https://youtu.be/Ynk-anflcOc

My Thoughts:

We already owned this movie on DVD, but was happy to see it released it Blu-ray, as now my girls could bring it with them to my parents house and watch on Christmas Day, when we head there for dinner.  Yes, the man dressed as Santa in the cover art above is none other than Hulk Hogan and the young girl with the dark hair is Mila Kunis.  This was her first feature film debut way back when.  If your loves movies that they can put on and not have to worry about thinking about, but will entertain you, then Santa with Muscles is the movie for you.  You will laugh at this nonsensical movie, while finding yourself wanting to watch it time and time again...just because.

Check Out These New DVD and Blu-Ray Releases from Mill Creek Entertainment (Review)

Disclosure: I was sent review copies from the vendor in exchange for an honest review. All views shared are mine and mine alone.





Now that it is getting colder and it is darker earlier in the evenings, we have found ourselves doing family movie nights throughout the week. There is nothing better than snuggling up under a warm blanket, and watching a good movie together.  And, when the girls are in bed, my husband and I have been catching up on some new and recent DVD and Blu-rays sent my way from Mill Creek Entertainment.  Below are some of the new and recent releases that are sure to delight families come family movie night, as well as entertain you and your sweetie for your in-home date nights or when you find yourself with nothing to watch on television or streaming.








"This five-part documentary series will examine how police departments not only protect the public, but also reach out in the most surprising ways.  From stories of heroism to the outreach programs that make up the PAL system, to the awards and certificate bestowed upon the diverse infrastructure that makes up our ever-changing police force, the viewer will get a deeper understanding about the "Heroes In Blue""
  • An original documentary series that combines the elements of true crime with behind-the-scenes investigations
  • Up-close and personal accounts from current and retired police officers.
Trailer Link:  https://youtu.be/i-Rc61L78Uk

My Thoughts:

I have always fan of criminal justice documentaries and shows as my father was a police officer in the Boston area for over 27 years, while I was growing up.  He always seemed to bring his work home with him, and would always watch "cop" shows and documentaries on television. And, to spend time with him, I would sit and watch these with him.  I found myself getting hooked on them, and always love a good criminal justice show/series or documentary. With that being said, I was excited to check out "Heroes in Blue" which is a new 5-part documentary series available on DVD and Digital.  This series gives an in-depth look at what it is like to be a police officer through personal accounts that show their bravery and courage, in the line of duty.  This really is a great action-packed series, and the stories and interviews shared really do a great job at showing you what it is truly like to be a Los Angeles police officer, a member of the SWAT Team and even a 911 dispatcher.  If you love criminal justice series and documentaries, then you will definitely want to check out "Heroes in Blue".   I can't wait to share this new release with my father, as I know he will enjoy it, too!








"John Eriksson and his elite rescue task force, SAF3 (pronounced "safe"), are struggling to keep their program alive, all while continuing to perform daring rescues and risking their lives as part of the Malibu Fire Department."
Notable Cast/Crew:  
  • Dolph Lundgren (Known for Aquaman, Creed II, Rocky IV, Gary Goddard's Masters of the Universe (1987), Showdown in Little Tokyo (1991), Blackjack (1998)
    • Lundgren has also continued to turning in memorable performances as the main adversary to other action-stars, most notably in Universal Soldier (1992) opposite Jean-Claude Van Damme, as well as Robert Longo's Johnny Mnemonic (1995))    
  • J.R. Martinez (Known for All My Children, Saf3 & Winner of Season 13 Dancing with the Stars)
  • Texas Battle (Known for Bold & the Beautiful, Final Destination 3, & The Bernie Mac Show)
  • Katie Meehan (Known for Saf3)
Trailer Link:  https://youtu.be/ZdfwXh-lD5I

My Thoughts:

I will always think of Dolph Lundgren as the man who fought Rocky in Rocky IV.  But, Lundgren has also starred in many more movies over the years, including SAF3 2 Under Pressure, which I had the pleasure of watching the other night with my husband as our date night flick.  My husband is big into rescue task force movies, and was excited to see this movie in particular.  

From start to end, this movie was filled with action-packed scenes, that had both of us sitting up and on the edge of our seats, waiting to see what happened next.  It was a little surreal watching this movie while thinking about the Getty fires and other fires ravaging California right now.  But, it also was a great movie to show the types of people in addition to fire fighters, to help during these catastrophic forest fires.  If you love Dolph Lundgren and are in the mood for a good action-packed movie, then I highly recommend SAF3 2 Under Pressure.  We never saw the first SAF3 movie, but will now that we saw and loved this sequel to it.






"Citizens of Doom Valley are not human beings but cars, trucks, boats, scooters, and containers with strong human characteristics.
Doom Valley is being destroyed by criminals and environmentally unsound businesses, and it’s up to the few residents left in town to stay and fight back."
Key selling points:
  • Feature film adaptation from the successful Funny Little Cars TV series!
  • Teaches valuable life lessons in friendship, community and protecting the environment! 

My Thoughts:

My girls love animated movies, and are always looking for a new movie to watch.  So, when my youngest daughter saw FUNNY LITTLE CARS: Adventures in the Little Oaza arrive in the mail the other day, she couldn't wait to watch it.  She ended up bringing it in the car and watching it on the way to a class. The movie is only 74 minutes in length, so is the perfect length for even the youngest of viewers to watch and stay engaged.    This movie reminded my two girls of the Cars movies, as well as the other talking vehicle animated series on television.  I listened to the movie as the girls were watching it, and loved how it shared valuable life lessons like friendship, community and protecting the environment.  

When the movie ended, both of my girls started sharing their favorite parts of the movie, as well as their favorite characters. If you are looking for a cute movie for your little ones that will not only entertain, but also teach them valuable life lessons along the way, then you will want to check out FUNNY LITTLE CARS: Adventures in the Little Oaza on DVD today.

"Louisa May Alcott's classic coming-of-age story follows the childhood adventures of the four free-spirited March sisters: beautiful Meg (Trini Alvarado), fragile Beth (Claire Danes), romantic Amy (Kirsten Dunst) and impetuous Jo (Winona Ryder), who's determined to defy social conventions by seeking her fame and fortune as a writer.  As Jo chronicles the family's struggle during the war, their turbulent romances and their lasting friendship, her story unwraps a gift of humor and heartfelt emotions that no one - young or old, male or female - can resist.
“Alcott's sense, sensibility and sentiment find new life in this handcrafted valentine.” – David Ansen, Newsweek
MARIE ANTOINETTE
Academy Award® winner Sofia Coppola (2003, Best Writing, Lost In Translation) directs an electrifying yet intimate re-telling of the turbulent life of history's favorite villainess, Marie Antoinette. Kirsten Dunst portrays the ill-fated child princess who married France's young and indifferent King Louis XVI (Jason Schwartzman). Feeling isolated in a royal court rife with scandal and intrigue, Marie Antoinette defied both royalty and commoner by living like a rock star, which served only to seal her fate.

“Kirsten Dunst is pitch-perfect in the title role" – Roger Ebert"


My Thoughts:

I am not going to give an in-depth of these to movies, as you have probably seen them both a handful of times or more.  They have been around for awhile, and are always great to stumble upon while flipping through the channels for something to watch.  I did want to share, though, how you can now get these two movies on one Blu-ray as a double feature.  :-)  And, with the new Little Women movie coming out soon, this would be a great Blu-ray to pick up and share with your family, and compare how this Little Woman movie stacks up against the new one.  Right now, my girls and I are reading the Little Women book so that we can compare it to the movie when it comes out.  And, now that I have this double feature Blu-ray, I plan to watch the movie again with them, and have them compare this past Little Woman release to the book and then to the new movie, and see which one they like best, and how they are all similar and/or different.  

If you are fan of Little Women or Marie Antoinette, starring Kirsten Durst, you will want to pick up this double feature Blu-ray release and have these two great movies on hand whenever you want to watch them. 





Together They'll Steal A Fortune
"Oscar® winner Julia Roberts and Clive Owen star as two sexy spies-turned-corporate operatives in the midst of a clandestine love affair. When they find themselves on either side of an all-out corporate war, they'll put everything on the line to remain one double-cross ahead in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse. From writer/director Tony Gilroy (seven-time Oscar-nominated Michael Clayton) comes the film critics are raving about!
“Roberts and Owen have sizzling chemistry in this instant classic." - Lou Lumenick, New York Post"

My Thoughts:

This is another movie you have probably seen a handful of times, too!...so, I will not bore you with my thoughts on it.  I have lost count on how many times I have seen this movie as I am a huge Julia Roberts fan, and will usually do a double feature of her movies when sitting to watch them.  The other night I watched Duplicity followed by Erin Brockovich, to get my fix of this great actress.  I was excited to get this new Blu-ray release as my DVD copy of the movie has been watched so much that it has started to skip.  So, now I don't have to hope to stumble upon this movie on television as my DVD version no longer works. 



Attitude...Meets Espionage.
Superstar Eddie Murphy (Netflix’s Dolemite Is My Name) teams up with Owen Wilson (Zoolander) for a hilarious, action packed thrill ride. Famke Janssen (X-Men, GoldenEye) also stars as an ultra sexy secret agent.
A super powerful experimental spy plane is stolen by an evil arms dealer and is about to be handed over to an international terrorist. The U.S. Government drafts an egotistical boxing star (Murphy) to join a suave special agent (Wilson) on a dangerous top secret mission to get the plane back. Armed with the latest high tech gadgets and a whole lot of attitude, this ultimate odd couple might be able to save the world- if they can just get along.

My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed the pairing of Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson in this spy movie. They are both two great comedic actors, and worked so well with each other.  The laughs just kept coming as my husband and I watched this movie the other night for the umpteenth time.  The movie never gets old, and always delights.  If you are looking for a fun, laugh out loud movie for an upcoming date night, I highly recommend I-Spy, available now on Blu-ray.

My Review:

My oldest daughter was so excited to receive this Triple Feature Pup Star DVD as she is a huge fan of this franchise.  If you follow my blog, then you have probably read a Pup Star movie review post along the way.  I have shared reviews for all four movies, including a Christmas one that is not included on this Triple Feature release.  If you missed a review, or want to see what all the hype around the Pup Star movies is, you can check out my past reviews of Pup Star: World Tour and the first Pup Star movie here:  https://www.inspiredbysavannah.com/2018/05/make-it-fun-family-movie-night-with-air.html and https://www.inspiredbysavannah.com/2016/08/air-bud-entertainments-pup-star.html.  You will see with these reviews and feedback from both of my girls, that these Pup Star movies are really fun to watch, and kids of all ages will love them, especially if they are dog/animals lovers.  I highly recommend this new Pup Star triple feature set, as you will have three of the best Pup Stars movies altogether, to enjoy at home and in the car for those upcoming long holiday car travels you may have planned.

MVP 2: Most Vertical Primate – 2001 – Rated G  Trailer

It seems that Jack's hockey skills translate directly into tearing up the half pipe and popping sick grinds! "


My Thoughts:

Next to the Pup Star and Air Bud movies from Air Bud Entertainment, the MVP movies featuring a fun loving chip are my girls' next favorite kid-friendly movie to watch.  They have watched both MVP movies over a dozen times, and were excited to finally own them on one DVD and now on Digital, to watch as a fun double feature come family movie night.  If your kids love the MVP movies, or the Air Bud Entertainment movies in general, you will want to pick up this new MVP double feature for the whole family enjoy. This double feature DVD also makes for a great stocking stuffer idea, too!



The killing. The conviction. The cover-up.
James Woods is about to go up against corruption and conspiracy at the highest levels of New York City law enforcement in the action-packed courtroom drama, True Believer. Woods is spellbinding as Eddie Dodd, once an acclaimed civil rights attorney of the '60s, now an embittered cynic who makes a living defending drug-dealing low-lifes. Dodd's passion for justice is rekindled when an idealistic young associate (Robert Downey, Jr.) urges him to re-open an eight-year-old murder case involving a young prisoner serving life in Sing Sing for a gang initiation killing. Dodd's frenetic search for the truth takes him through a harrowing maze of unscrupulous prosecutors, white supremacist hate groups and corrupt cops. But is he willing to put his life on the line in defense of his beliefs? A powerful thriller, True Believer takes a piercing look at justice for all, from all sides of the American legal system.
My Thoughts:

I really like collecting these Retro VHS releases from Mill Creek Entertainment.  Not only are the releases of movies I love watched back in the 80's and 90's, but I really like the fun faux VHS look of the slip cover of these Blu-ray releases.  If you love collecting retro VHS releases then you will want to check out this new release, which features James Woods and Robert Downey, Jr..  I have lost count of how many times I have seen True Believer over the years...but, I am never bored when I sit and watch it.  It is a great drama/thriller and will have you seeing the different sides of the American legal system.
